aww man we arent done with the half life revisions yet
I can't contribute much at the moment because of personal reasons, but I can still argue some things for Gordon.
Gordon was capable of fighting a decently big group of
trained government agents that were faster than him and could jump ridiculous heights and do backflips and stuff, so Lara's shtick will be familiar to him.
Gordon has not-so-surprisingly been in situations where he was at a range disadvantage as well. I have no clue what the village has, but I'm assuming it has places where he could hide and take cover, yeah? Gordon also has some decent long-ranged weapons on his sleeve if Lara does realize she has the range advantage, like his crossbow.
